Blandford Forum Cottages

Surrounded by rolling countryside on the banks of the Stour, our
Blandford Forum holiday cottages are great for exploring Dorset,
with attractions and amenities on tap.

Picture elegant streets lined with Georgian buildings - the town
dates back to earlier times but the Great Fire of 1731 destroyed
almost everything and so it was rebuilt. It's a lovely place to
discover on foot - East, West and Salisbury Streets, the Corn
Exchange, Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Ryves Almshouses
and the Great Fire Monument are just a few highlights. You'll
also find inviting shops, galleries and a good choice of places to
eat and drink. Thursdays and Saturdays are market days while the
monthly farmers' market showcases top-class regional
produce.
